At least these GIFs have taken the original cards and added movement to create something brand new. I could understand someone wanting to collect a whole run of this version of Mars Attack cards as a digital set. I could not understand it if they were actually produced as real cards. I would like to own them as real cards, but they would probably never look this good. Very nice work.

Agreed on all points. Why not animated digital cards? You could feature portraits of the cast / stars that slightly rotate or move (think, Harry Potter newspapers) or feature a scene from a film or tv show. The possibilities are endless.

Of course you could also do physical looping lenticular cards, but it seems most card companies these days don't want to spend any money on higher-end technology like that.

I like lenticulars too, but some come off better than others. I have found that in general, many tend to be too dark, too fuzzy, or both. Then at worst, sometimes the movement effect is not even worth it. However when it works lenticulars look great.
